Hi Dan Lipsa,

Thanks for the reply. The error is occurring during runtime. There was no
error, when i ran it in interpreter. All the lines in the script executed
smoothly.
I have tested the same code using vtk 6.0.0 there was no error.

Also, the output that i get is not proper. There is problem in the color
map of the output produced. The scale bar is not displayed properly.
==========================================
#!/usr/bin/env python
from vtk import *

reader = vtkNetCDFCFReader()
reader.SetFileName("3d.nc")
reader.SphericalCoordinatesOff()
reader.SetOutputType(6)
reader.SetReplaceFillValueWithNan(1)
reader.Update()
#Copy SAL Array to scalar value field of point data ..this makes point data
to point to SAL array
reader.GetOutput().GetPointData().SetScalars(reader.GetOutput().GetPointData().GetArray("SAL"))
reader.UpdateMetaData()
reader.Update()
reader.UpdateInformation()
output = reader.GetOutput()

a,b = reader.GetOutput().GetPointData().GetScalars().GetRange()
lut = vtk.vtkColorTransferFunction()
lut.AddRGBPoint(a,         0.0, 0.0, 0.8)
lut.AddRGBPoint(a+(b-a)/4, 0.0, 0.5, 0.5)
lut.AddRGBPoint(a+(b-a)/2, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0)
lut.AddRGBPoint(b-(b-a)/4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.0)
lut.AddRGBPoint(b,         1.0, 0.0, 0.0)
lut.SetNanColor(0,0,1)

# the mapper that will use the lookup table
mapper = vtkDataSetMapper()
mapper.SetInputData(reader.GetOutput())
mapper.SetScalarModeToUsePointData()
mapper.SetLookupTable(lut)
mapper.SetScalarRange(a,b)
# the actor
gridActor = vtkActor()
gridActor.SetMapper( mapper )
scaleBarActor = vtkScalarBarActor()
scaleBarActor.SetLookupTable( mapper.GetLookupTable() )
scaleBarActor.SetTitle("Color Map for Point Data")
scaleBarActor.SetOrientationToHorizontal()
scaleBarActor.GetLabelTextProperty().SetColor(0,0,1)
scaleBarActor.GetTitleTextProperty().SetColor(0,0,1)

# position it in window
coord = scaleBarActor.GetPositionCoordinate()
coord.SetCoordinateSystemToNormalizedViewport()
coord.SetValue(0.1,0.05)
scaleBarActor.SetWidth(.5)
scaleBarActor.SetHeight(.1)

# renderer and render window
renderer = vtkRenderer()
renderer.SetBackground(1, 1, 1)
renderer.SetGradientBackground(1) # Set background to white
renWindow = vtk.vtkRenderWindow()
renWindow.SetSize(512, 512)
renWindow.AddRenderer( renderer )

# render window interactor
renWinInteractor = vtkRenderWindowInteractor()
renWinInteractor.SetRenderWindow( renWindow )
# add the actors to the renderer
renderer.AddActor( gridActor )
renderer.AddActor( scaleBarActor )

#show axes
axesActor = vtkAxesActor()
widget = vtkOrientationMarkerWidget()
widget.SetOrientationMarker( axesActor )
widget.SetInteractor( renWinInteractor )
widget.SetViewport( 0.0, 0.0, 0.4, 0.4 )
widget.SetEnabled( 1 )
widget.InteractiveOff()

# render
renderer.ResetCamera();
renWindow.Render()
# initialize and start the interactor
renWinInteractor.Initialize()
renWinInteractor.Start()
==================================================
